Schools have the added benefit of allowing those working from home to actually work from home and not be parents while banging out a couple of emails. Increasing productivity. Unless the ice cream shop wants to keep them 6 hours a day.

I hate most Microsoft products but hey ho if it allows most to work from home then fair enough.

It’s a massive resource hog as well. You lot with your souped-up rigs probably don’t notice, but when missus suddenly started having to run her school class through MS Teams on her little Surface tablet/laptop thingy, it pretty much collapsed under the strain.

It also now believes the contraction was 9% and not 14% as it suggested in May. It believes the economy will be back at its pre-Covid size by the end of 2021.
